Is that a metric fucktonne or a freedom fuckton?
Ixoid@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your fave movie of all time that you love to recommend to people?English7·1 year agoMy fav movie! The perfect blend of sci-fi, action, comedy, and fashion model catwalk.
Ixoid@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•HARD SciFi Futurism: Do you know of any sources speculating about advanced bio-technology as a replacement for silicon compute?English2·1 year agoI came here to make this comment. The Edenists, a genetic fork of humanity, have created sentient machines through biotech. Some of the large space habitats are grown with a layer of neural cells a metre thick - in a cylinder shell that may be 30km long, totalling cubic kilometers of brain matter. Super-intelligent space buildings.
- Six books in the trilogy, if you include And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer (of Atemis Fowl fame)
There are some great suggestions here - I’m also adding to my reading list!
I almost exclusively read sci-fi, and my favourite author is Peter F. Hamilton. He has written some mind-bendingly good space opera, much of it spanning multiple novels.
His best work IMHO is a one-shot, standalone novel called Fallen Dragon. It’s got rampant uber-captialism, space marines, geurilla warfare on colony worlds, and aliens. And a very satisfying conclusion that I didn’t see coming.

Ixoid@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick?English3·2 years agoI refuse to pronounce it that way. But at least “kaysch” sounds better than “cash-ay”
Ixoid@lemm.eeto Books@lemmy.ml•Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race?English2·2 years agoYes, while not as good as the OG, still a great read!
Ixoid@lemm.eeto Books@lemmy.ml•Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race?English3·2 years agoOne of my top ten fave scifi novels. Niven and Pournelle’s best work.
I thought they were slices of tomato.
Ixoid@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Atheists/agnostics of Lemmy, do you believe in the existence of souls?English1·2 years agoNo. If you can’t find it in an autopsy, did it ever exist in the first place? Too many people confuse ‘soul’ for ‘mind’ (IMHO)
Thank you Summit link preview!
